Crawshay's Zebra Safari: Summary
Crawshay's Zebra Safari in a nutshell
This trip starts in the South Luangwa, which harbours a very rich flora and fauna and is home to a few species found nowhere else in southern Africa, including Thornicroft’s giraffe, Cookson’s wildebeest and Crawshay’s zebra. Here you will spend 5 nights at two camps, Nkwali and Tena Tena, in superb wildlife viewing areas. Run by Robin Pope Safaris, both camps have been operating for many years and have built up a very good reputation for providing excellent safaris.
Smaller and less-visited, the Lower Zambezi National Park is bordered by the Zambezi River, where the majority of the wildlife congregates. This, too, is where the sister camps of Chiawa and Old Mondoro are located, although distances between camps here are large so you very rarely see other vehicles on a game drive. Both camps are first class, with guiding up there with the very best.
With canoeing and boat safaris available in the Lower Zambezi and day/night game drives and walking safaris offered in both parks, this safari is perfect for the more adventurous safari-goer.
Zambia's climate is generally fine and dry from June to October.
